It would be great if I could just export into Illustrator and be able to use it from there rather than tracing it all (I'm a woodworker with access to a CNC laser that runs off .ai files).

If anyone has the ability to do a quick export of this from their own machine it would be much appreciated! Alternatively, maybe someone could give guidance to a novice on how to accomplish this conversion sans expensive mapping software.

You can use our MAPublisher plugin for Illustrator, which is a suite of geospatial tools for Illustrator that will import shapefiles and other GIS data formats and draw them to scale on whatever document size you require. www.mapublisher.com

It will import the shapefile with all the spatial accuracy and underlying data attributes.

There is a 14 day fully functional trial you can use to see if it will satisfy.
